As my introduction says, I'm K.A. Saylor. English teacher, aspiring author, and nerd enthusiast. Sarcastic, snarky, snarcastic, smart-ass, straightforward and straight silly.
The concept of this blog only occurred to me recently. While discussing several characters from a certain television show in-depthly, I found myself having questions that I wanted answered. Does everyone hate River Song, or is it just me? Do people actually like Angel over Spike? Who's a better character--Veronica Mars or Buffy Summers?
When I set about to find these answers, I had shockingly little luck. There were a few blogs that discussed the type of material I craved, but nothing on the large scale that I hoped to find.
Therefore, I decided on creating this. This blog will choose various characters from a variety of platforms (television, books, movies) and seek to analyze them: the good, the bad, the ugly. Is that character a good role model? Are they realistic? Can you relate to them?
The analysis will, of course, be done with as little bias as possible. But, I feel it's almost impossible to keep all opinion out of an analysis. Hence, Scratched Camera. We all look at things through a bit of a scratched camera--we bring our own biases and baggage to the table and apply those things to a character, perhaps more than we intend to. This allows us a little leeway on this blog--if you disagree with my opinion, you are free to bring your own to the comments. As my introduction also indicates, I'm always eager for a debate.
So welcome to Scratched Camera, come for the analysis and stay for the absurdity!
